Synopsis
"Velicham Thedi" follows Roshini as she reconnects with her estranged half-brother Nived after their mother's death. While Nived remembers a loving, present mother, Roshini struggles with memories of abandonment and alcoholism. As they confront their contrasting perceptions, Roshini seeks closure for the pain of a mother she barely knew. Through heartfelt conversations and a symbolic attempt to connect with their mother, the film explores grief, family, and the search for healing.
